Which of the following is not recommended during an imminent danger situation?

• A. Staying calm and following instructions
• B. Keeping your hands visible
• C. Moving to a safe location when possible
• D. Calling for help when safe to do so

Answer: (B)

In imminent danger, the key is to act in ways that maximize your chances of getting to safety quickly. This means staying calm so you can think clearly, following any instructions you’re given, moving to a safe location if you can do so without exposing yourself to more risk, and calling for help when it’s safe to do so. Keeping your hands visible is not advised in this context because, in a rapidly unfolding threat, it can complicate the situation—visible hands may invite misinterpretation or slow your ability to react, potentially delaying your escape or protection. The other steps directly support quick, decisive action to reduce exposure to danger, which is why they’re recommended.
